Never had a blowout on my trikes, but have on 2 wheelers. THAT wasn't fun at all! If I had to have a blowout I'd much rather have it on 3 than on 2.
Anyone ever have a blow out on a trike, either front or rear tires?
I would think it would cause nightmares.

I'm like an old race horse..... I can still run the race -- Just ache more at the finish line and need more rest between outings.
After reading the thread about how many miles people get on their front tires, I was surprised how many tried to wring the last few miles out of them. I couldn't imagine having one give up the goat on a heavy curve.
I never had a blowout on a bike either however one time I had a chain break causing a 50 yard skid. Unbelievably the tire never blew however it always had an irritating flat spot on it which got better the faster you went

The good news here is that with the increased use of tubeless tires, blowouts are far less common ... that my friends is a good thing.
